Lawmakers Bet on Trump-Musk Rift Duration Amid Ongoing Feud

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have experienced a public fallout, with betting markets predicting a 57 percent chance they will meet by the end of 2025, though Trump has dismissed reconciliation efforts, calling Musk "the man who has lost his mind." Despite speculation and wagers among lawmakers on how long their alliance would last, the relationship has clearly fractured, with Trump considering returning his Tesla amid the feud and threatening to cut Musk's government contracts. Musk, who was head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), publicly criticized Trump's policies and linked him to Jeffrey Epstein in social media posts, escalating tensions. The dispute has significant implications for Musk's companies, including SpaceX, which relies on government contracts. The feud has drawn attention from both political figures and the public, with some even forecasting its course through unconventional means such as psychic predictions. Overall, their once close partnership appears unlikely to mend soon, as both continue to publicly criticize each other.
